Drop scott user

If you want to drop the scott user, do the following (login as DBA ):

SQL> drop user scott cascade;

User dropped.

  • The cascade word drops all objects owned by scott.
  • Make sure scott is no longer connected.
  • Only do this if you are sure you will no longer need the user or his objects.
  • Always take an export before dropping users.
